AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BENVENUTO CEL(ISBN=9780307592743) pdf pdb 阿里云 极速 mobi caj kindle 下载

　　Here is the most important autobiography from Renaissance

Italy and one of the most spirited and colorful from any time or

place, in a translation widely recognized as the most faithful to

the energy and spirit of the original.

Benvenuto Cellini was both a beloved artist in sixteenth-century

Florence and a passionate and temperamental man of action who was

capable of brawling, theft, and murder. He counted popes,

cardinals, kings, and dukes among his patrons and was the adoring

friend of—as he described them—the “divine” Michelangelo and the

“marvelous” Titian, but was as well known for his violent feuds. At

age twenty-seven he helped defend the Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome,

and his account of his imprisonment there (under a mad castellan

who thought he was a bat), his escape, recapture, and confinement

in “a cell of tarantulas and venomous worms” is an adventure equal

to any other in fact or fiction. But it is only one in a long life

lived on a grand scale.

Cellini’s autobiography is not merely the record of an

extraordinary life but also a dramatic and evocativeaccount of

daily life in Renaissance Italy, from its lowest taverns to its

highest royal courts.

Here is the most important autobiography from Renaissance Italy and one of the most spirited and colorful from any time or place, in a translation widely recognized as the most faithful to the energy and spirit of the original.

Benvenuto Cellini was both a beloved artist in sixteenth-century Florence and a passionate and temperamental man of action who was capable of brawling, theft, and murder. He counted popes, cardinals, kings, and dukes among his patrons and was the adoring friend of—as he described them—the “divine” Michelangelo and the “marvelous” Titian, but was as well known for his violent feuds. At age twenty-seven he helped defend the Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome, and his account of his imprisonment there (under a mad castellan who thought he was a bat), his escape, recapture, and confinement in “a cell of tarantulas and venomous worms” is an adventure equal to any other in fact or fiction. But it is only one in a long life lived on a grand scale.

Cellini’s autobiography is not merely the record of an extraordinary life but also a dramatic and evocative

account of daily life in Renaissance Italy, from its lowest taverns to its highest royal courts.
